Seal-Once Nano+Poly Penetrating Wood Sealer with Polyurethane - Premium Waterproof Sealant -1 Gallon & Bronze Cedar

I purchased this sealer for a landscaping project. Delivered quickly, well packaged and intact. I have multiple 8"x8"x12' northern yellow pine timbers that i stained with dark walnut. They are rough cut and I chose not to sand them.I allowed the stain to fully dry and preformed the entire operation in the garage out of the sun and elements.Two generous coats are important for this sealer. Also it must be above 50°, which lengthened the process due to Ohio's weather mood swings.In the pale, the product is a solid white tint and thin as water. Give her an enthusiastic shake before opening. I applied with a 3" standard brush. No other products used besides minwax stain. Must be clean fresh surface for appropriate adhesion. Sand old finishes off. Goes on white and is easy to see missed spots. Being rough cut timber, it took a little more product to fully saturate. On a smooth sanded surface a little goes quite a long way. I have a photo to show drying stages- fresh coat, about 15mins dry time, and after about 30mins.At 30mins apply your second coat, just as heavy as the first.It's easy to work with. A little messy- don't be shy with it, but it covers great.Drys totally matte, no gloss at all. Looks just like they did with only stain which is just what I wanted.I have a second photo showing our first rain with them on the ground. I waited about a day for sealer to dry before laying them down. The water beads on top which is an excellent sign. I'm hopeful to at least get a few years out of this product before needing refinished.Most important to note ... These beams are laid over gravel and sand with drainage tile underneath, however they still are on the ground, exposed to moisture and in direct sun.This is really the ultimate test for a product like this.If this sealer can survive being exposed all day everyday I don't think there is a project it cant handle.I will update in about a year with photos and hopefully a success story.

I sprayed a solar pergola with the coastal gray and it looks amazing...but I need about 4x more than I expected. This stuff just soaks and soaks into the wood. I've seen others say you needed to do a base coat and then a second coat...and maybe if you allow enough time in between it wouldn't take as much material. My plan was to do smaller sections and I just kept hitting them over and over because the wood just seemed to drink this stuff. My assumption is this is very good, sealing all the way through. Just gonna he expensive to finish....so good value for the money if this stuff makes this last as long as I think it will. The consistency (thickness) is pretty thinned already, I was able to spray without add8ng anything. I used a paddle mixer and it seemed blended within 30-60 seconds or so. Covers good other than the wood just drinking the material. Finished product seems super durable, and that coastal gray really pops.

No issues with application and after a month or so my project is still holding up just fine outside. I used a sprayer and back brushed for the application. Only time will tell how well it holds up in the Florida weather. It looks great so far.

This is my fourth time getting this product. The first time I got it, it came with UV protection, which is rare for clear sealants. I LOVE how easy this is to apply, it soaks in like water and just works. I used the UV protection one on my tool shed 4 years ago and till today it hasn't grayed! But then I guess they took that off the shelf, because I thought I bought the same product and sprayed it on my cedar fence the same as my shed, but it's completely grayed now.Bottom line: easy to use, feels really natural and safe to use (no smell and you get a little latex layer on your skin that's easy to scrape off), complete protection from mold and rot, but will not prevent graying anymore.Yes, put the second coat on fast if you're going to. In my experience it hasn't needed multiple coats when you apply the first thick enough.Hey Seal-Once! Bring back the UV protection formula, it really worked and the natural alternatives out there are crazy expensive!

This product looks beautiful. This was an old deck. Once the Light Brown Seal-Once Nono + Poly Penetrating Wood Sealer was applied, it looked new and updated. The sun and rain have caused no changes to the color. I ordered more to apply to wood benches we are having made.

it works well

I do belive the Quality od the Paint is Good - but frankly looks much more towards orange ( look at the back.of the chest which had no prior colour)- not he Cedar - light wood colour as advertised; yea you may argue the label looks light orange but it's nit still as.light as in picture which looks more pine like; so I'll have to use another colour to paint on top of this one ...good thing I didn't use it for my deck ...
